Hey! Can't find enough eco-conscious gifts for the holiday? Tired of going from store to store and having to select items from the very small eco-friendly section? Wouldn't it be great to have a "Green" Target type store, where you can buy almost everything you need at a great price? Well guess what? There is a great way to efficiently do your holiday shopping and buy green until your heart is content, all in the comfort of your own home. Do some one stop shopping on Black And Into Green, via Amazon Green. It is a special site created by Amazon to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly and human safe products. I will be posting this week some ideas for sneaking in fun green gifts for the uninitiated. Stay tuned.

My name is Lara Glew. I've just visited your website and I was wondering if you'd be interested in exchanging links with my website. I can offer you a home page link back from my Recycling website which would be (http://www.lara-glew.com) with Page Rank 3.

Your link will be placed here:http://www.lara-glew.com (It`s a recycling website with PR3)

As mentioned, your link would be placed on the site home page, not on any "links" pages which may be buried in the site somewhere.

If you are interested please add the following information to your website and kindly let me know when it´s ready and I will do the same for you in less than 24 hours, otherwise you can delete my link from your site.

About Me

Welcome

Interested in preserving the earth as a place that is safe and clean for everyone? This site is for you! The world's environment is increasingly tainted with polluted drinking water, toxic landfills, questionable food supplies and polluted air. Drinkable water supplies are drying up due to waste and climate change. Our health, our children's health and the lives other living creatures are at risk if we don't take ownership of our environment. Let's be vigilant and mindful of our personal impact on the world and advocate for those less able to speak for themselves. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Going Green: Ten Easy Things You Can Start Doing Today (or soon)

* Utilities- Turn down your water heater, don't keep the water running while brushing your teeth, replace light bulbs with fluorescent light bulbs, use a powerstrip to turn off electronics when not in use, turn off lights when leaving a room, replace showerhead with a water conserving fixture

* Trash- Buy more of what you need and less of what you want (use a reusuable bag while you are buying)

REUSE

* Invest in a cool mug or thermos for beverage purchases instead of using disposable cups-preferably stainless steel

* Donate, sell or re-purpose old clothes instead of throwing them away

* Do you really have to throw away that plastic storage bag, container or aluminum foil that you used just one time? If it can't be used to store food again, can it be used to store small household or garden items?

* Think before you toss. "How can this item be reused?"

RECYCLE

* Look for the recycling triangle on your plastic goods, plastic bags and glassware. Many cities offer recycling pickup with your garbage or recycling bins for drop off of recycled goods. For drop off locations near you, click here.

* Reuse newspaper and paper (black and white print) in the garden as mulch or as stuffing for packages. Cut up and use the backside of used paper or envelopes as notepads. Save and bundle your old paper, boxes for recycling pickup or drop off boxes

* Keep a recycling bag in your car or the office to continue and model your earth friendly practices away from home
